soc_puppetWelcome back for Part 4! Or wherever you might be on the list, be it just starting out or finishing up a mood theme from a previous attempt ✌ This week marks the first time that all three mood tracks have different moods! We'll be back to Minimum and Medium sharing moods in Part 5, then Part 6 will be the end of the final Medium run for this year. But enough babble from me; on to the moods!
This week's Minimum moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused
This week's Medium moods are: Stressed, Excited, Optimistic
This week's Maximum moods are: Chipper, Ecstatic, High
We've got some pretty bright and upbeat moods to start out this week! That said, while Ecstatic is a very enthusiastic and energetic sort of Happy, Chipper can be a bit difficult to distinguish from Cheerful. Perhaps a bit more perky? On the other hand, it's a great mood to work in puns on! For my fancy rats mood, the rat is chipping at a statue, whereas my still in progress pigeon mood has a pigeon sitting in an empty bag of chips (crisps). So if you're reaching for inspiration, don't be afraid to go with wordplay! Same thing with High; if you're working with a fandom or other source material where the green can be easily incorporated, you may already be covered, but for everyone else, being literally, physically high in the air might be an option. My High cloud (coming in the next code push!) is floating over the top of a skyscraper, while my High pigeon is itself looking down on a cloud! Playing with perspective might be another option here.
What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Think you'll have an easy time of it, or do you expect to struggle a bit? And how about the new category of moods we've entered, now that we've moved away from Angry a bit? Does that affect your actual mood at all? Let's talk about it!
